Sun, 02 Aug 2015 17:17:41 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74084#comment-1176307Not quite sure what the problem here is. Price doled our raises from his company’s money (and from his salary). That’s private enterprise, isn’t it? It’s his choice to pay his employees what he wants too pay them.

He’s now learning some basic economics – at his expense. Socialism insists that people do not learn basic economics – and at other people’s expense.

I’ve mixed feelings about the minimum wage. On the one hand, labor is only worth what people are willing to pay for it (and that’s a hard reality). On the other hand, income inequality is an issue and there are plenty of examples of wealthy people privatizing profits while socializing the costs (low wages and resulting welfare and *social* costs – see open borders, for example).

I confess growing fatigue with and hearing all about “innovators” and “entrepreneurs” when business includes some of the biggest welfare queens on the planet.

A few years ago, Kansas provided all sorts of tax breaks to business. The result was a collapse in revenues and growing shortfalls. If Kansas had been overtaxed and if our state services sucked even with high taxes then this wouldn’t be all that upsetting – gov’t would have to do with less.

But Kansas has a history of good governance and, from my POV, public facilities (roads, parks, schools) are in the top tier. Has business held up their end of the bargain: hiring, paying better wages, investing. No, no, and no.

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 16:22:41 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74076#comment-1176304I think Scott Walker should enlist a couple of MMA trained guys to let disrespectful people know they are not welcome.

The other interesting thing is that straight liberals always ask us the same question, “How come you aren’t on a gay cruise?” How freaking offensive is that?

From a social engineering aspect: “a place for everything and everything in its place.” If “needs be” there should be a black gay cruise in the perfect vision of coordinated diversity in the limited tolerance vision of Progressive harmony.

Einstein mused: “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Progressives are great at creating “big picture solutions” and then jamming everyone into them, whether they fit or not.

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 13:51:42 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74084#comment-1176295The problem with socialists and communists is that they are usually ivory tower types. They claim to understand the struggle of the people, but they don’t understand at all, else they would see that the real world does not work the way their socialist ideas think it does.

No, money does not make you selfish and greedy. It merely makes selfishness and greediness more obvious. Nor are selfish and greedy people overwhelmingly rich. In fact, most rich people are generous to a fault.

Same with the poor. Most of them are good hearted hard working people. Then there are the welfare queens who, when they find out that their $15/hour hamburger flipping job makes them ineligible for welfare want to cut back on their work hours. They are the ones who are obnoxious in the unemployment office screaming about getting “their” money.

To call what they get an “entitlement” is a misuse of the word. They are not entitled to someone else’s money, yet government, which has no heart (remember that–government is incapable of compassion) hands it out to those who show no gratitude.

So much that government does now–unemployment compensation, social security, medicare, medicaid, earned income credits–are better done by charity and insurance.

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 13:19:09 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74084#comment-1176293#5… We go on cruise ship quite often with itineraries that are often 10 days or longer so a majority of people are retired. It seems our cruise line of preference has a fair number of conservative customers. We make dinner reservations at a table for 8 in order to meet people. Although we don’t make a big announcement of our relationship, it doesn’t take much to figure out that two men in their 50′s on a 10 day cruise are a couple. The first night at dinner is always quite fun as the conversation starts with a few political topics. Once our tablemates realize that we are not the “militant left” we have great fun. On the other hand, we are shunned by other gay people on board becaaue we don’t “clan up” and hang out exclusively with gay men. They also shun us because we dance together (we do a great Cha Cha). The other interesting thing is that straight liberals always ask us the same question, “How come you aren’t on a gay cruise?” How freaking offensive is that? Has the gay community self segregated so much that liberals shun gay people who leave the gay ghetto?

Also, conversatives feel that helping others is a personal responsibility while liberals feel others should be forced to fund government helping people.

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:49:15 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74084#comment-1176291‘I have come to believe that what makes a man conservative is simply understanding economics and human nature.’

I also think that what makes a man conservative is having true compassion for others, instead of the false “compassion” of liberals. That was what finally woke me up. I thought I was a liberal until I saw that liberal ideas actually hurt more people than they help, and conservative ideas actually led to better lives for the most people. Add to the fact that my liberal friends often spoke hatefully about others, while the few conservatives I knew were actually kind and caring people and I suddenly started to understand who the good people were.

Score! The fundamental flaw with Progressivism is that the perpetrators don’t allow that humans are part of the natural world. It’s been said that conservatives have facts and develop theories, while Progressives have theories and sell them as facts.

‘… who don’t necessarily misunderstand them so much as exploit the ignorance of their followers on those topics.’

They’re called ‘useful idiots’ for a reason.

And that is why they are a special level of evil. They know they can ride that into power and enhance their life at the expense of everyone else’s. The Clintons are included in that list, with all their Hedge funds, Trusts, and off shore accounts … they know what works best for everyone, but prefer the ones that do not, but gives them power over others.

the united states is a free country, if they like socialism they are free to practice it. it is not necessary to outlaw capitalism. alas the socialists will not allow something else that works better.

As far as I’m aware, there wasn’t any significant outside pressure or threats of lawsuits, correct me if I’m wrong.

Why are these ghouls ‘harvesting’ [sanitized term] the internal organs of murdered babies? For high-minded medical research, MUCH OF WHICH IS TO COMBAT DISEASES OF AGING. But, to what point, if the Progressive agenda is to murder older people?
And they wonder why we consider their cherished ideals contradictory and hypocritical….

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 08:24:12 +0000http://www.gaypatriot.net/?p=74073#comment-1176205The BSA will continue even with the current ruling, and I predict the LDS church will also continue to sponsor troops, as long as they get to dictate who the leaders are. So will the Roman Catholic Church; and those churches like the United Methodist Church affiliate in Seattle who might want to have Dan Savage as a troop leader (Sex Ed Merit Badges, anyone?) will also be allowed to do so.

Likewise, Trail Mix USA or whatever the all-God, anti-gay alternative is will also limp along—but they will have to do so without any references to scouting or utilizing any programs remotely resembling the BSA, as those are protected under congressional charter.

In the end, the demise of scouting will occur as davinci noted: the lack of interest in the outdoors and the rise of sports culture over the past few decades will be far more damaging to the concept of scouting than any of the recent changes in policy.
